Chapter 137: Falling Short (I would like to pay tribute to the warmth of the city that seems to be ruthless but affectionate)
It's the second half of the night, and the night breeze is getting cooler.
The canopy was pitch black, and an orange crescent moon was embedded in the West Ridge.
There was a lookout window on the ridge of the front yard, and several captured swordsmen, who were being escorted, shouted to the main house compound behind them one after another:
"Brothers, swordsmen, everyone lives in the rivers and lakes, in order to eat together. When did he, the father and son of the Luo family, never treat us as human beings...... It's not worth it to work for their father and son......"
"Brothers in the nursing home, I'm a Southern Hunan, let's come down. This time, it was the well-known Jiaoyun Village, and they were bent on seeking wealth...... The eldest young master's Jingwei regiment had already let the big palm of Jieyunzhai take charge of the dysentery tiger, and made a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and led it to Xiangdong, not ten days and a half months, so don't think about coming back...... With the people we have now, we can't stand it at all......"
These swordsmen collected from the rivers and lakes are the most daring defense force of the Locke family.
Under the assignment of Old Man Luo, these swordsmen wearing terrifying and hideous masks, with their extraordinary skills, appeared through one dark passage after another, causing huge losses to the people and horses of Jieyun Village, as well as great psychological pressure.
Their collective disarming not only brought a devastating blow to the Luo family's defense forces, but also made the people and horses of Jieyun Village ecstatic and their morale boosted.
They frantically fought fiercely with the Locke family's nurses in various courtyards and houses.
The Locke family homekeepers couldn't resist it, so they could only retreat again and again.
However, the balance of power brought about by the generation gap in weapons was quickly reflected.
In the end, the Locke family, with its significantly strong firepower advantage, firmly held on to several adjacent courtyards dominated by the main house compound.
No matter how the men and horses of Jieyun Village attack, it is difficult to make an inch.
The shouts on the ridge of the roof spread almost all over the nearby courtyards, and naturally clearly entered the hall of the main house.
On the roof beams of the carved dragon and phoenix, several carved lanterns are hung, sprinkling bright yellow light.
Old Man Luo paced around anxiously,
With many years of experience in leading troops, he sent men and horses to ask for help at the beginning.
He knew that many of these messengers for help would fall into the hands of the enemy.
Therefore, he arranged for these capable family members to go out of the village from the path in several batches and directions, and after they successfully found out of the village, he sent him the agreed signal.
He once personally stood on the lookout pavilion and looked, at least in the south and west directions of the village, there were families who successfully broke through.
If nothing else, Luo Shaoyu's Jingwei regiment will be heard from around dawn. If they travel lightly and send a team of mules and horses to help in advance, Old Man Luo estimates that they can reach the cold puddle at noon at the earliest.
But he didn't dare to hold it up, he thought that he should organize his forces, at least until sunset.
So, he sent out tactical squads and swordsmen.
As expected, they all achieved impressive results quickly.
When his eldest daughter, Luo Shaojin, led the team back to the main house compound to replenish ammunition and escort back a few prisoners, he reassessed the balance of power between the two sides.
He even thought that he could rely on the existing strength of the Locke family to make this group of bold bandits retreat.
Therefore, after replenishing and once again satisfying the tactical squad and swordsmen, after being ordered to set off again, he even took a short nap in his leisure.
But now he feels a great danger.
Because, the two tactical squads and the two groups of swordsmen include the most loyal and courageous part of the Locke family's nursing home force.
Their casualties, surrenders, and retreats not only quickly changed the balance of power between the two sides, but also greatly shook the determination of the guardians to resist.
"Old man Luo, don't fight. The heroes of Jiaoyun Village, bent on seeking wealth, come down, and keep a safe family......"
At this time, a gong-like voice came from the window on the ridge of the main house in the front yard.
Old Man Luo immediately heard that it was a family member who was born as a swordsman. It was he who met on Gyeyang Road three years ago. has always been loyal and capable, and has won his trust and reuse.
Unexpectedly, at this juncture, he took the lead in reversing the water.
Old Man Luo suddenly became embarrassed, raised his head and shouted angrily at the mouth of the stairs: "Where is the machine gun on the lookout pavilion, what are you eating?" Hit it, hit the fuck......"
There was a housekeeper standing on the stairs, and when he heard this, he immediately turned his head and climbed upstairs.
In a few moments, the Czechs on the roof began to spit out long tongues of fire again in the dark night, and roared rapidly.
Dadada, da......
The Czech-style bullets caused the roof tiles in the front yard to fly, like a swarm of bats startled in the night, crackling and flying all over the sky.
Chirping bullets entered the lookout window, killing two of the knifemen on the spot.
The rest of the crowd hurriedly crouched on their stomachs, moved down the stairs, and quickly moved to the lobby below.
The hall was brightly lit, and a few people in charge gathered around the Eight Immortals table, looking at a yellowed paper on the table, their faces were full of melancholy, and their frowns were tightly locked.
"Ha, Mr. Xie, the sandwich wall and pit that the Locke family relies on are completely useless. The exit outside is all guarded by our people, guarding the pigs and rabbits, and the exit inside, even if his Luo family is not blocked, we don't dare to use it...... Ha ......"
It was the new boss brother who spoke, and he smiled a little reluctantly.
Although he is extremely reckless, he is quite capable of doing things.
Just now, the jade-faced rat asked him to arrange manpower to go to various secret passages to squat and guard. Unexpectedly, not long after, there was really a small group of bold family members, who were heavily rewarded by Old Man Luo, and found out of one of the pits, trying to sneak attack again.
When they crawled out of the pit, the sudden lighting of torches around them made them all dumbfounded.
The Locke family quickly sensed this, and did not send anyone to find out from the secret passage.
Now, after the Locke family has repeatedly shrunk their fronts, their already powerful firepower advantage has become more concentrated. Under the arrangement and dispatch of Old Man Luo, all the key roads they occupied were equipped with more dense and fierce firepower strongholds.
As long as the people and horses of Jieyunzhai appeared everywhere, the bullets like rain would chirp and shoot like locusts, and people couldn't raise their heads.
Thing...... It's back to the situation it started so far again.
The Luo family put on a posture of stubbornly waiting for help, and the men and horses of Jiaoyun Village organized several waves of inevitable charges in a row, but they were all beaten back.
The jade-faced rat and a few other palms were anxious, and each led his powerful men to rush back, but they only lost a few more corpses, and did not make substantial progress. The third brother also organized a few people on a whim, trying to sneak over from the tiled surface of the roof of the promenade, but they were soon discovered, and under the intensive care of the flower mechanism and the horse box, even the third brother almost didn't take it down.
At present, the hard bone of the Luo family, if you don't have a good tooth, you really can't gnaw it!
The firelight reflected on everyone's cheeks, flickering red and dimming, and the atmosphere in the hall became more and more solemn.
Xie Yucheng, who was dressed in a long robe, also had thick eyebrows, stroked his chin with his hand, and paced slowly and leisurely at the table of the Eight Immortals.
The ammunition that had just been seized had been depleted after several fierce firefights. And the Locke family, who intend to stick to the help, is still extremely rich in weapons and ammunition, and the will to resist is still very strong.
Seeing that it was about to dawn, although Jieyunzhai had stopped attacking, he only stuck to various points to prevent the Luo family's people from rushing out.
But the Czechs on Locke's main house still screamed intermittently and demonstratively, lifting the tiles on the roof and flying wildly. From time to time, there were still dense or sparse gunshots from the gates, windows, and corners of the corridors, with the occasional roar of grenades or two.
Obviously there was no one to charge and no one to threaten, but they still squandered their powerful firepower without stopping.
This、This is Chiguoguo's contempt, Chiguoguo's demonstration.
The Locke family's style reminded Xie Yucheng of the first defense of Diaoyu City during the Southern Song Dynasty.
At that time, the Mongol Meng Ge led the Mongol army to attack Sichuan all the way, but he was unable to take down a small and isolated Diaoyu City.
After months of siege, the army was depleted of supplies and logistics. However, at this time, the defenders of Diaoyu City seemed to see through the predicament of the Mongol army, so they ordered people to throw nearly 30 catties of two large live fish and hundreds of large flour cakes from the city, threatening that the Southern Song Dynasty soldiers and civilians in the city could hold on for another ten years.
Seeing this, the Mongolian army was shocked and had the idea of retreating.
Meng Ge was furious when he saw this, so he attacked the city on a large scale, but he couldn't stand the lack of fighting spirit of his soldiers, and he gained nothing from attacking for a long time. Meng Ge personally led the warriors into battle, and it is said that he was killed by a stone cannon. The Mongol army lost its commander and immediately retreated in frustration.
Is there really no way?
Jiaoyun Village poured out and came from afar. Is it going to fall short at this last juncture in the end?
